Comment Mental health is incredibly important to employees (Score 1) 141

Mental health is incredibly important to employees... unless it takes more than lip service to address.
Management dictates the factors that impact the culture. Saying it is important is great. Doing something about it is better.
Don't bother if your idea of help is an AI chatbot to help cope with your stress.

Comment Re:Linear TV is Dead (Score 1) 67

No longer mandated means cable companies now simply refuse to support them. The cable card in my TiVo is running well but on borrowed time.
FIOS' next "upgrade" will kill it for sure. Good thing there isn't any effort in making good content for non-streaming anymore.

I gotta admit, M$ is making it more attractive every day to make the jump.
Linux does have some work to do before the mainstream will be able but it is getting better and better.

I really don't like feeling I am the product and don't like spending money on a PC that M$ acts like they own.

Look at teacher salaries. We are getting what we pay for.

Are you suggesting that if we pay the same teachers more they'll do a better job? I.e. they're slacking off and doing a deliberately poor job as a protest against poor pay?

Or are you suggesting that if schools had higher teacher salary budgets they could fire the current losers and hire better people away from other industries?

In either case we'd have to take into account the teacher's union before just cranking up the tax rates and shooting more money at the schools.

I was thinking more the second option.

Comment DLR is another facet to this problem (Score 4, Insightful) 187

Daytime Running Lights are too bright now too. It isn't that they don't work well, they work so well folks don't realize they don't have their actual headlights on. Every night I see cars driving around on highways with no tail lights on and the drivers are adamant their lights are on. Argh.

I am thinking it is more the DLRs are too good than that drivers are unaware of the controls. One of these is fixable.
